The most talked about teacher trainees Allowance restoration has been welcomed with different interpretations.
Meanwhile,EducationGhana’s sources have revealed detailed information regarding the restored trainees allowances.
Restoring of the allowance simply means bringing back in its equivalent what was initially scrapped by the John Mahama led government.
The amount to be taken by each trainee per month will be GH¢400.00 and this is payable for two semesters in every academic year.
- “This means that students will receive allowances for only 32 weeks per academic year.”
This means that whiles trainees are on vacation, there would be no allowances for them to take.
The feeding grant shall be deducted from the allowance and the balance given to the trainee.
The Conference of Principals (Princof) has succeeded in convincing the Ministry of Education to increase the amount of feeding per day to GH¢6.50 and GH¢0.50 for firewood and gas making it GH¢7.00 per day.
This amount is to be deducted from the allowance from source before reaches the teacher trainee.
Every trainee is expected to present a SSNIT and e-zwich card for processing as we earlier indicated.
